it's a 2000, the previous owner had green in there. I bought some red coolant from napa. since I need to pick up some parts, I'm going to be back there. should I use green instead?

ELC? When I was there the only "extended life" coolant I could find was Prestone or similar with a 150k lifespan... aka standard coolant.
Hook it, I'll pull it.

Final Charge is ELC, good for 300,000 then add additive, good for another 300,000 miles. The difference is, it's in a 50-50 mix. That is what I have in my system.
